![]() ![]() So the question bugging me now: would i use ReactOS as my replacement to the windows OS? I also tried a few other thing such as entering of Control Panel and such which i will post screenshots of at the end. Next i tryed running the Command Prompt and My Computer applications… My Computer worked well but Command prompt worked very laggedly and was slow to come up with the results of my dir (ls for all you linux geeks out there) command – this may have been becuase i was running it in VMWare and the slowness of my laptop or buggyness of the OS – i think its a combination of the two myself. they didnt… seems not many background services are running on this at the moment… still what could you expect from Alpha software. I gave up on trying to get the browsers to work and left ReactOS for a few hours whilst i went rowing to see if any random errors would come up while i was away. FireFox keeps crashing in the buggy environment of ReactOS so i decided to try their own browser… it rendered BBC News well if a little astranged. Slashdot rendered nicely if abit squashed in the low resoultion. ![]() I rebooted the VMWare application and finaly got FireFox to work… I started FireFox and started at what i found… a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death). exe file and installed it relatively painlessly. I explored the start menu and soon found a nice little icon to download FireFox – i delved straight in and downloaded the windows. The desktop was very clean with only two icons on it: a “My Computer” icon and a “Command Prompt” icon. I booted the image up in vmware and was pleasently surprised. I decided to download the small <70MB image of it. I downloaded this strange “Virtual Server” or something along the lines of that called ReactOS the little description bit caught my eye as it said compatible with Windows programs and device drivers. im on my comp one day and decide to find out what all this fuss about virtualisation is… so i downloaded VMWare and played about with it for abit. ![]()
